"Biometrics in the New World" takes a fresh look at biometrics
and identity management within a fast-changing world.
The concept of biometric identity verification is revisited,
including identity intelligence, federation and the use of third
party infrastructure. Furthermore, the book examines some of the
fundamentals of the technology which are often overlooked. However,
the dialogue extends beyond technical considerations, and explores
some of the broader societal and philosophical aspects surrounding
the use of biometric applications, bringing this whole area into a
new focus at a time.
Topics and features: presents a brief history of the development
of biometrics, and describes some of the popularly held
misconceptions surrounding the technology; investigates the
challenges and possibilities of biometrics across third party
infrastructures and on mobile computing devices; provides guidance
on biometric systems design, stressing the importance of an
end-to-end approach, together with the alignment with policy and
operational procedures; explores the mechanisms necessary to enable
identity intelligence, including logging mechanisms, data
communications and data formats; discusses such usage issues as
collaboration frameworks, and messaging and data translation;
examines the impact of biometric technologies on society, for
better and worse, covering issues of privacy and user factors;
reviews the current situation in identity management and biometric
technologies, and predicts where these trends may take us in the
future.
This accessible and thought-provoking work is an essential guide
for biometric systems integrators, professional consultancies,
government agencies and other consumers of biometric technology.
Academics interested in biometrics will also find the book to be a
source of valuable insights, as will the casual reader.
